Hey Lucy,
Any interest in planting a vegetable garden? It'd be a great way to get cheap, nutritious food. I know you're not a fan of dirt, but it could be fun! Check out the brochure!
Since we're first time gardeners, I'd suggest starting with something simple. Obviously, we'd want to avoid growing 1.
. Also, our yard is very sunny, so it could be difficult to grow
2.
. Of course, we'd definitely need to plant pumpkin, since, as you
know, I love pumpkin pies. We could work something out even though
they require
3.
For fresh pies, I accept the challenge!
Let's check out the gardening centre after dinner. It sounds like the 4.
place in town. Also, I'll stop by the library for a gardening
guide since the brochure doesn't provide complete information for
each plant. The brochure mentions harvest time for only
5.
. That's something we'd definitely need to know!
Best,
Alan
